No Foolin - Its an April Fool's day Challenge



Recommended Posts

I'm in, I am aiming for 20lbs. I am at a stand still and need a challenge to get me on my game. I am so disappointed that I have not lost in 3 weeks!:sad: I got a fill on 2/9 but it was only 0.9cc because I had lost an average of 3 lbs. per week. I need to get this weight loss restarted. I didn't really suffer from bandster hell :crying:the first 6 weeks, so I think I am there now! I am down to a 22 from a 24, but I want to be a 20!LOL! Good luck guys:):w00t:

Great job how have you done so well? I feel like I am not losing "fast" enough. 12/18/09 was my surgery and I am only down 12 lbs 226 to 214 any ideas?

It's just another diet - but with help! You have to be willing to seriously restrict your eating even when your BAND allows you to eat more! Tough, but true. But your success will help you stay motivated. People told me to eat Protein first, a great idea, but I fought it for a bit thinking the band was supposed to make my weight magically disappear! Hah - it hasn't. I'm working pretty darned hard at it! Just keep working it, your success has already started!

The weight that I'm entering is from weighing naked, in the morning after I pee and before I eat/drink anything. Is that cheating???

Are you kidding? I have been going to Weight Watcher's on Saturday mornings for the past 100 years or so. There are mornings where I practically strip NAKED (Ok, I'm exaggerating) before getting on the scale. This week I honestly took my WATCH off!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
